CGS Woo — Dual Zone & Raised Grid Expander for Small BGE CGS Woo — Dual Zone & Raised Grid Expander for Small BGE

Add Greater Flexibility to Your Small Egg

The CGS Woo Expander is one of our original raised-grid cooking systems, developed through decades of hands-on kamado cooking and accessory design. It adds flexibility to the Small Big Green Egg by raising the original cooking grid near the felt line while creating space below for heat deflectors, drip pans, and other accessories.

Use the Woo for raised direct grilling, indirect barbecue, and dual-zone cooking. Pair the Woo with a sliding second cooking grid for more cooking space. It also supports pizza and baking setups.

Key Features

• Raises your grill's 13" cooking grid near the felt line
• Supports full-round and half-moon heat deflectors
• Creates direct, indirect, and dual-zone setups
• Built-in handles to lift in and out
• Provides flexible setups for pizza and baking
• Serves as the base rack for a second grid

Fit Note: This Woo Expander is designed specifically for the Small Big Green Egg. It does not fit other kamado grills.

Raise the Cooking Grid

The Woo raises the Small Egg's original cooking grid approximately 2-3/4" above the fire ring, positioning the cooking surface near the felt line.

This higher position provides easier access to food and moves the grid farther from the charcoal for balanced raised direct grilling. Shown with your Egg grid.

Add Deflectors for Indirect BBQ

For low-&-slow barbecue and other indirect cooks, place ceramic heat deflectors on the smaller lower ring beneath the cooking grid.

CGS 10" half-moon heat deflectors pair well with a 10" Stainless Drip Pan for a compact indirect setup.

For broader indirect coverage, use a pair of Big Green Egg 12" half-moon heat deflectors with an 11" or smaller drip pan.

Dual-Zone Cooking

To configure dual-zone cooking, place one half-moon heat deflector on the lower Woo ring. One half of the cooking grid remains exposed to direct heat, while the protected side provides an indirect zone for finishing or holding food.

Use a CGS 10" half-moon deflector for a compact setup or a 12" Half-Moon Deflector for wider indirect shield coverage. A 12" half-moon deflector is shown below.

Add a Sliding Second Cooking Grid

Expand your cooking surface with the CGS Sliding Second Grid Bundle, engineered specifically to integrate with the Small Big Green Egg Woo Expander.

The Extender frame slips over the Woo handles to support the upper grate. The top grid slides front-to-back, giving you easy access to food on the lower cooking grate without removing hardware.

• Adds a functional second tier for multi-level cooking
• Slides back for quick access to the main grid below
• Heavy-duty 304 stainless steel fabrication
• Made in the USA

Important: The Sliding Second Grid Bundle requires the Woo Expander base frame.

Pizza & Baking Setups

For pizza baking, use two 10" ceramic stones to build a heat barrier and baking deck. Elevating both stones higher on the main grate brings your pizza closer to the dome reflection heat for crispier crusts.

Place CGS 1" Ceramic Spacers between the two stones to form an insulating air gap. For even heat distribution, use stones with matching diameters.

Woo Fitment & Specifications

Integrated handles: Lift the entire setup in & out easily using the handles. The Small Egg grid slips over the handles.

ConvEGGtor Compatibility: The Small convEGGtor does not fit inside the Woo. CGS 10" deflectors offer better fit and flexible direct/indirect setups.

Cast Iron Grids: The Small Egg 13" cast iron grid does not fit inside the handle structure. Cast iron also performs better closer to coals rather than raised.

Wok Cooking: The Woo is not designed for woks. We recommend the CGS Small Spider for holding 12" woks close to the fire.

Dimensions: Raises grid ~2.75" above the fire ring. Accepts round accessories between 8.5" and 11.5" in diameter.

Material: Heavy 1/4" diameter, 304-grade stainless steel. Fabricated in-house by Ceramic Grill Store in the USA.
